TIME CHANGE - Fred Jacobs | M/Art
"Fred Jacobs is a deft and versatile trumpeter who covers a lot of ground on TIME CHANGE. He dives right into the title track, sounding as bright and assured as Freddie Hubbard or Woody Shaw, but with verve and a smooth, fluent originality."
-Robert Spencer,

"Tom Harrell, surely the major figure in Jacobs' pantheon of influence although careful listening may reveal traces of Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw and of course Miles Davis. ... Jacobs concentrates on melody, symmetry and beauty of tone rather than macho displays of speed, volume and pitch."
-Krinn Gabbard, Cadence

"Jacobs displays a solid, straight-up sound and compositional skills... he illustrates the idea that the trumpet's magic power is not limited to those who have gained sufficient recognition to make the covers of magazines."
-Norman Provizer, JAZZIZ
